January Theater Guide: Slow Start, Exciting Finish

Entertainment Central Pittsburgh: The word is “lacuna,” meaning an unfilled space or interval. Early January is lacuna time in Pittsburgh live theater, as the city’s resident companies use the period after the holidays to get their next productions ready. But the long view is good, with an interesting slate of shows in the latter part of the month.

And there is one real oughta-see that comes early: the national touring production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. This tale of a very eccentric teenaged savant has won practically every best-play award for which it was eligible. Two more highly touted touring shows arrive later—the musicals Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Something Rotten!
